Skyline Truck Stop burns down

LACHLAN LABERE Revelstoke Review

A Craigellachie business landmark is no more.

The snow on the mountains of the Eagle Pass contrasted with the thick black smoke that filled the air Monday morning, Nov. 2, as firefighters engaged in a battle to keep the fire in the Skyline Truck Stop on the Trans-Canada Highway near the North Fork Bridge from spreading.

Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 9 a.m., with the Malakwa department taking the lead and Sicamous and Swansea Point on mutual aid.

By mid-morning, any hope of saving the building had vanished. This left firefighters the task of ensuring the blaze was kept in hand.

“All they’re doing right now is protecting exposures and dealing with hazards and trying to keep a safe perimeter for the public,” commented Columbia Shuswap Fire Services Co-ordinator Kenn Mount. “We’re just dealing with the propane hazard and making sure the fuel is shut off properly,” said Mount The fire is believed to have been caused by a space heater in an office on the second floor.

From there, said Mount, the blaze spread quickly to the roof.

No one was reported to have been injured.

Development violation raises eyebrows but not objections from Council LACHLAN LABERE Revelstoke Review

A residential developer’s putting the cart before the horse raised some eyebrows among city council, but no opposition.

On Tuesday, council approved a development variance permit which allows the developer of a residence at 905 3rd St. West to construct a driveway and double-garage accessed by 3rd. This is contrary to city’s Subdivision, Development and Servicing Bylaw, which requires vehicle access from the property’s lane way.

Development services manager Dean Strachan noted there would also be an opportunity to create additional parking off the lane, though that is not currently a consideration.

Strachan said four letters had been received by the city regarding the variance. One of those letters, by former mayor

David Raven, raises several concerns, including issues related to snow clearing, parking demands (exacerbated by the potential of the new residence containing a secondary suite), proximity to an existing bus stop and traffic on 3rd. Raven also makes note of work done on the property prior to approval of the variance.

“The footprint of the proposed variance has already been stripped and backfilled with gravel in preparation for construction allowing the neighbours a clear view of the implications of the variance,” writes Raven.

The issue of parking is also raised in a letter by Sherri McEwan, who states “The owner told my neighbour that he was not going to let his tenant park in his driveway. Where are his tenants going to park? In front of my house?” see Development, page 5

City council has endorsed a Temporary Use Area (TUA) application for the Mackenzie Common Tavern at 3241-2950 Camozzi Road, within the RMR village base.

According to a report to council by city assistant planner Chris Selvig, approval of the TUA allows the applicant to extend their license to specified temporary use areas on their property up to 26 times a year.

“When activated, the TUA’s must be appropriately bounded (fenced) and staffed, and may operate not later than 10 p.m.,” said Selvig.

Residents within 100 metres were notified of

the TUA’s within the city boundaries, and no responses were received.

“Overall, staff believes there is good support for the application,” says Selvig.

Coun. Linda Nixon said the approved TUAs may put more pressure on local RCMP. “The question I have is the 10 p.m. hours, is that set by the liquor branch as well?,” asked Mayor Mark McKee, “Sounds like a rule that a whole bunch of old people put in….”

Selvig confirmed the time was set by the BC Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere & John Teed An intrauterine device (IUD) is a very effective method of birth control. However only 5% of women use that method. Compared to birth control pills where there are 5-9 pregnancies per 100 women per year, for an IUD it is 1 out of 100. IUDs do not increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease or ectopic pregnancies. It’s a choice to consider as an alternative to the “pill”.

It’s easy to confuse the term “nutritionist” and a registered dietitian. The latter can be the former but the former is most often not the

latter. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietitian must have a bachelor or master’s degree in nutrition and have done an internship of practical work before being registered. For the best nutrition advice, seek out a registered dietitian.

Another space-age medical device available since 2012 is a handheld apparatus that will record your heart rhythm. It allows the storage of up to 20 measurements which can be downloaded into a computer and sent to your doctor. It’s called the HeartCheck Pen and can be used

to help manage conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmias and to monitor the effects of medicines.

Hemorrhoids often aren’t noticed until there is blood in the stools. This could be a sign of other problems as well, so it is important to get it checked. Colon cancer is one of these other problems and is most successfully treat when found early.

There are medications to sooth mild cases of hemorrhoids. Talk to our pharmacists for some treatment suggestions.

OPINION

BC Liberal destruction of documents a deliberate act MLA REPORT

Norm Macdonald As your MLA, I often receive requests from constituents for access to information, information that you have every right as a citizen to receive. My staff work with people to access information through Freedom of Information, and most would be shocked to discover just how difficult, slow, and costly accessing even the most basic information can be.

Your government has a responsibility to retain relevant documents and to provide access under the Freedom of Information Act. This is not just a moral requirement, it is actually a legal requirement.

There are well-established protocols on what has to be retained. And when it is discovered, as it has been recently, that the BC Liberal government has not retained the required documents and correspondences, you must understand that it is not a simple mistake. It is a deliberate act.

A report has recently come out on three clear cases where the BC Liberals broke the law, and, as a result, a government political staff member is now under investigation by the RCMP. What has become clear is that

the Premier’s office, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry responsible for ensuring that Freedom of Information laws are actually followed, all have political staff that routinely purge records that they are legally obliged to keep. Whether it is the fact that proper documents are either very deliberately not created, or that electronic documents are ‘triple-deleted’ to permanently destroy them, the actions of this government are in blatant disregard of the law.

The documents that we now know were destroyed related to serious abuses of government power such as the firing of health researchers, a travesty that resulted in a suicide of one of the falsely accused researchers. These health researchers were falsely accused for political reasons, likely on the direct orders from the Premier’s office.

This government also destroyed documents related to the government’s lack of response to the Highway of Tears.

We know that it is not just the Premier’s office, or these two ministries, that are engaging in these unlawful acts. It is far wider than that. This is the culture of this government, and it absolutely cannot be tolerated.

Governments have tremendous power. But governments are not above the law. We must demand that this government follow the law. I would encourage you to make your thoughts known directly to the Premier at premier@gov.bc.ca.

DIABETES AND YOUR EYES November is Diabetes Awareness Month!

Diabetes affects over 3.3 million Canadians with increasing prevalence and is the leading cause of blindness in Canada. Early intervention and annual eye health examinations help drastically reduce the risk of vision loss secondary to diabetes.

Diabetes and its complications can affect many parts of the eye; it can cause changes to your refractive correction (glasses prescription), it can cause cataracts, glaucoma, decreased corneal sensitivity, and DIABETIC RETINOPATHY. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when the blood vessels inside of the eye become weak over time and with fluctuating blood sugar levels; the blood vessels start to leak fluid and can lead to bleeds and swelling inside of the eye. Left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can lead to irreversible blindness.

The risk of blindness can be reduced through yearly eye health assessments, tight control of blood sugar levels, maintaining controlled blood pressure, cessation of smoking.

For more information, come see us at the office, give us a call or check out the BC Association of Optometrists website http:// bc.doctorsofoptometry.ca/diabetes-your-eyes 310 Connaught Avenue, Revelstoke www.revelstokeoptometry.ca 250.837.5244

CSRD directors vote to adjust remuneration bylaw BARB BROUWER

Salmon Arm Observer Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral area directors voted for adjustments to the remuneration bylaw at the Oct. 15 board meeting.

But the vote to amend the current bylaw to adjust how electoral area directors are paid for the meetings they attend was not unanimous.

Discussed at a July 29 Electoral Area meeting, the issue was brought to the whole board in September as a lateagenda item but deferred at the request of Electoral Area F director Larry Morgan, who said he had not had time to read the report prepared by Jodi Pierce, manager of financial services.

Brought back to the board last week, the directors unanimously agreed to an independent remuneration review.

But funding for the review will have to be included in the 2016 budget and, if approved in budget talks, will not be available until after March 31 next year.

This did not sit well with Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker and Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan, who pushed for an amendment to the current bylaw to permit payment for more than one Schedule B meeting a day.

"There is an inherent flaw, if you will, in that schedule B meetings (airport, tourism, Shuswap Emergency Program

In a memo to council, Strachan explains there are already properties with street access along 3rd, considered legal, non-conforming, as they predate the city bylaw. He says while the impact of one more would likely be minimal, there are concerns for the precedent its approval would set.

Coun. Linda Nixon said she struggled with this variance request, noting she believes in infill housing and the need for higher density.

“I would comment that this development, if it’s approved, and I’m going to vote in favour of it, will be a good addition to the neighbourhood and they’ll be good neighbours because they won’t be clogging up the road,” said McKee. Coun. Aaron Orlando focused on the process behind the variance and how it might have been avoided.

I would really like to thank the Revelstoke Review for giving me the opportunity to bring forward some information about the Security Portfolio that I chair. I have some really positive news coming from the RCMP and the fire department. I would also like to thank both staff sergeant Grabinsky and fire chief Girard for their hard work on behalf of the community.

Good news stories from the Revelstoke Fire Department:

Rescue 7: - Replaces rescue truck involved in a motor-vehicle incident in 2013 - built not only for the rigors of highway rescue but also with the firefighter's safety in mind, with rollover protection, insta chains and airbags - Completely funded by grants and corporate sponsorship, no taxpayer monies were used.

New Recruits 2015 - Four new dedicated volunteer recruits completed their Justice Institute of British Columbia Basic Firefighter Program and Auto Extrication and are now firefighters - Each will be taking Live Fire 1 training in November 2015 - Nine additional candidates are scheduled to be interviewed in November and start training in January of 2016 Fire Training Centre 2015 - As of Oct. 20 the Revelstoke Fire Training Centre is now offering Live Fire

1 and 2 classes to our firefighters and external users - First Live Fire class of Revelstoke Firefighters will be Nov. 7 on propane props and interior fire attack.

- The Centre will be a revenue generator for the City of Revelstoke starting in 2016 when its facilities will be made available for use by other fire departments.

- Much of its equipment and infrastructure has been made possible by generous donations by our corporate sponsors.

Fire Prevention Week 2015 - Although the Prevention Branch provides valuable education to various groups and businesses within our community, this year as part of our school education program, several hundred children from K to Grade 3 attended the fire station to learn about preventing fires and what to do if a fire were to happen in their home.

Camp Ignite 2015 - Student Megan Cottingham from Revelstoke Secondary school applied for and was sponsored by BC Fire Chiefs’ Association for the Camp Ignite Program, designed for grade 10 to grade 12 female students who are interested in becoming a career firefighter - Megan received sponsorship funding from Revelstoke Fire Rescue Society and Personal Protective Equipment and support from the Fire Department and the Fire Chief - In August, Megan attended a four day camp and received training in Jaws of Life, Ropes, HazMat, live fire and more.

- Megan will be joining the new recruit firefighter training in 2016 as part of a school work experience program

Good news coming from The Revelstoke RCMP:

The Emergency Services’ Food Drive was a huge success, involving all the local front line Emergency Service providers and community service groups, volunteers, activity clubs and participation from the community. A large amount of

food and money was collected, to assist the food bank over the winter months.

The City of Revelstoke approval of funding for the Revelstoke Detachment update to workstations has resulted in a healthier work environment for police officers in Revelstoke. The original workstations were not designed to have computers. Officers spend many hours working at their desks writing up reports and documenting major incidents. The new workstations provide the ergonomic opportunity to efficiently complete this work.

Several major crimes, such as drug trafficking, child pornography, sexual assaults and assaults, have been investigated and prosecuted through the efforts of the Revelstoke RCMP detachment police officers. These incidents have major impacts on the community and it is important to see the respective perpetrators held accountable for their actions.

In September the Revelstoke RCMP Victim Services program manager, Stephanie Melnyk commenced operational duties and has been highly effective in assisting victims of crime to access the support that they needed. In addition a drive to find volunteers to work in Victim Services is on-going. Those who would like to find out more about volunteering can contact the Victim Services office at 250-837-9260.

2016-2020 Financial Plan

With the implementation of the Financial Focus Group, who I would also like to publicly thank, we are beginning to review the latest budgets for these departments much earlier than in the past.

Completing the budget process earlier will assist with improving planning for projects and completion of key council objectives throughout the year. I am looking forward to the coming year with more positive news coming from my portfolio. Thank you again for the opportunity to communicate directly with the citizens of Revelstoke.

After 20 years, millions of albums sold, countless hit songs, and record breaking tours around the world, Séan realized he was lost.

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics.

A weeklong barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.

Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide.

We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson Jay Chalke, who has that authority.

Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subsequent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble.

It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone.

Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk: Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?”

Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.”

There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information.

And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized.

The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?

Boat launch closure Shelter Bay Access to the BC Hydro Shelter Bay boat launch on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir will be closed from Tuesday, November 3, 2015 to Saturday, April 30, 2016.

B.C. Health Minister, Terry Lake. ~ Photo contributed The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies.

There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds.

Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.

One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger.

Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?

No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

f ! o k n e Fa We e h t

This closure is needed to ensure public and worker safety while we make improvements to the boat launch, including infrastructure upgrades to the boat ramp and upland parking area.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your support as we complete this work.

Altars, Shrines and Curiosities CONTRIBUTED

Revelstoke Art Gallery The Altars, Shrines and Curiosities exhibition has been an idea brewing in the mind of local artist Krista Stovel for more than 20 years. Her travels have taken her to places where shrines were often found at the side of a road, placed outside buildings and hidden in small openings in alleys in cities and villages. The shrines seemed to hold entire worlds in one organic assemblage of worship.

The inspiration to use this concept in her own art came from the owner and chef at Metropolitan Diner, in Victoria, B.C. in 1989. He had placed miniature altars made of old toys and found objects in the restaurant’s kitchen. They were mesmerizing and fanciful and reminiscent of the spontaneous altars/shrines in faraway countries, where you could stop, for a moment and reflect, before continuing on the journey. Exploring other artists’ ideas on that concept led to studying and being inspired by the work of Joseph Cornell who built boxes displaying ordinary objects

that when placed together create a miniature world of metaphor and possibilities.

This new exhibition highlights the unique interpretations of 15 Revelstoke artists, including metal artist Andrew Stacey, who has created a large shrine made mostly out of “railway scrap� and describes this work as “my attempt at a non-denominational multicultural edifice for making an offering, making a wish, saying a prayer to the Railway Gods, to connect myself and my co-workers in an intangible way.�

Altars, Shrines and Curiosities opens on No. 6 in the main gallery of Revelstoke Art Gallery, along with the Glacier Adventure Stewardship Program (GASP), which features photography by high school students who have participated in a Parks Canada program that gives local youth an opportunity to connect with their natural and cultural heritage. Join the artists at the opening reception on Nov. 6 from 6pm to 9 at the Revelstoke Art Gallery at 320 Wilson Street. Exhibitions from Nov. 6 to 27.

A division of

Revelstoke at the Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 10.

He still lends his rich gravelly voice to many of the songs he wrote and performed with Great Big Sea but has a number of new, powerful songs written since leaving the group and the booze behind.

His efforts to deal with painful experiences that he used to bury in alcohol are in the lyrics of much of his new work.

“You can say things in a song that you might not be able to say; they let you deal with the problem, not just cover it over,” he says.

“It was a great place to hide being an alcoholic,” he said of the continual party atmosphere. “Great Big Sea had the same set list for 15 years. I was stuck there and I had to keep moving – that’s what an artist should do.”

He is proud of the work he did with Great Big Sea but says many differences of opinion on what the band should do and where it should go had surfaced several years earlier and the ending was ugly and painful.

McCann had tried many times to overcome his addiction but found the strength to get sober after his wife, Andrea, told him he would lose her and his children if he didn’t stop drinking.

“I’m really glad she had the courage to do that; she knew I was killing myself and I heard that,” he says. “You tell your kids how to live their lives, then you have to tell yourself, ‘maybe I can learn something from my kids.’”

The first nine months of sobriety were extremely difficult and lonely, but McCann says he had the comfort of his songs and his guitar. Since leaving the band, McCann released an album produced by Joel Plaskett, entitled Help Your Self, and over the summer unveiled another entitled the You Know I Love You Collection of Songs.

“They truly represent who I am. Once I sobered up I figured out this is me,” he says, noting the ‘game of fame’ and the money that came with it did not make him happy. “Money seldom brings out the best in people. I still have something to say and I’m still making music, from a different motivation.”

At 48, McCann said he wants the second half of his life to be better.

“You have to acknowledge the shadows, you can’t keep pretending they’re not there,” he says. “I’m looking for something more substantial; it’s a harder path but I am happier.”

The lyrics may deal with difficult issues but the songs are far from being dirges. They speak of change, of renewal, light and hope of better times ahead. Like the sea shanties he wrote for Great Big Sea, many of McCann’s songs have rich Celtic undertones and rousing reminders of the power of the ocean he was born beside.

McCann’s ancestors arrived in Newfoundland from County Armagh about 400 years ago and the Newfoundlander says his time as a teenager spent in Ireland felt strangely like home.

“I could understand where the traditional music came from and I learned a lot about folk music,” he says. “Before you know where you’re going, you need to know where you come from first.”

McCann says if he has any regrets about his days with Great Big

Sobriety made other connections important to the artist, who volunteered his time to work with teens with addiction and mental-health issues. He says his reward was much greater than his giving.

“When I bring my guitar and start playing, the faces change, including mine,” he says of the power of music to heal.

McCann says he gets inspiration for his songs as he travels, with many of them beginning in Newfoundland by the ocean and ending in the mountains.

McCann is thoroughly enjoying the smaller venues and increased connection to his audiences, whom he invites to sing along.

BUSINESS

Weather windfall for U.S. power exports TOM FLETCHER Black Press

A warm winter and a dry spring and summer combined to produce a big jump in BC Hydro power exports this year.

Electricity exports to the U.S. jumped by 73 per cent in the first eight months of 2015 compared to the same period last year, according to export data from Statistics Canada.

BC Hydro says the warmer winter decreased residential customer demand for electricity in B.C., leaving enough water in the Columbia and Peace River reservoirs that their combined volume reached record highs by the end of March 2015. That allowed for more generation from Mica dam on the Columbia River, which recently had a fifth and sixth turbine added to bring it up to maximum design capacity.

"These exports also supported the management of the obligations under the Columbia River Treaty, which provide for

increased releases of water from the Canadian Columbia basin when the U.S. basin finds itself in severe drought conditions, as it did in the spring and summer of 2015," said BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer. "Ultimately, the increased release meant additional generation at Mica, which resulted in more energy available for export."

The Columbia River Treaty was signed by Canada and the U.S. in 1964, and its flood control mandate is set to expire in 2024. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has argued that the treaty should be renewed with an increased annual payment from the U.S., to reflect the value of controlling the river on the Canadian side for flood control and irrigation for agriculture in Washington state.

The increase in electricity sales was a bright spot for B.C. exports, the value of which fell 22.2 per cent from January to August, due mainly to falling natural gas prices.

Electricity prices also fell during that period, so the 73 per cent increase in exports resulted in only a 32.2 per cent increase in value. Decreases in gas and electricity prices are related to greatly increased shale gas production in the U.S., which is used for power production as well as heating fuel.

You don’t just buy a ticket to We Day, you have to earn it! That’s just what a group of Revelstoke students from Grades 7 to 12 did.

Thirty-two lucky students from Revelstoke Secondary School (RSS) and Arrow Heights Elementary School had the opportunity to travel to Vancouver to attend this life-changing event. Students got to hear from inspirational speakers and learn first hand how they could make a difference in their communities and the world. Students were encouraged to 'think global and act local.' Students not only had to earn their ticket to We Day, but are now also expected to volunteer and participate in various Me to We projects throughout the year.

The presentation was amazing and captivating for the whole group as they listened to the stories of people like Spencer West, Chris Hadfield and Marlee Matlin. We Day started off with the two brothers that started it all, Craig and Marc Kielburger, the founders of Free the Children, an international non-government organization. They were 12 years old when they founded the organization 20 years ago. They gave a very inspirational speech that ended with the entire stadium of 20,000 people saying, "We are Important, We are unstoppable and We can change the world!"

The whole event was about a person's self worth

and how individual actions can change the world, that it's all about finding your spark, which means finding what inspires you and drives you to make change in the world. Young people are encouraged to join in, to volunteer and to do their part.

They suggested many ways people could help make a difference. For example, they could sell rafiki bracelets made by women in Kenya; support campaigns like ‘We are Silent’ to raise awareness or hold ‘We Bake’ sales, to raise money for one of the many Me to We causes.

A number of students from the RSS Me to We club then participated in a local 'Me to We Day' here in Revelstoke upon returning from the trip, volunteering at the food bank and helping with a garbage clean up. With new inspiration, local youth can be expected to be full of ideas on what they can do to help make a different for those less fortunate.

The RSS Me to We club is planning to have a Share the Socks - Socks for Santa drive, donating as many new socks as they can collect for those that use the food bank. Last year, the RSS Me to We club raised $1,000 for both local and international charities and this year they are hoping to raise even more money. Everyone is very excited to see how they can help, and you can help too by going to the Me to We website www.metowe. com or by supporting the local Me to We club. A big thank you to the Revelstoke Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Trust for providing funding needed to help make this experience possible.

Grizzlies have a good weekend LACHLAN LABERE Revelstoke Review

Cohesive team play with a strong showing behind the crease benefitted the Revelstoke Grizzlies over the weekend.

The team hustled to carve out two home-ice victories, 8-2 versus the Sicamous Eagles and 1-0 against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. The wins bookended a Halloween heartbreaker in Chase, where they suffered a 3-2 overtime loss to the Heat.

The Oct. 30 contest versus Sicamous saw an early marker by Kyle Berry, assisted by Aaron Aragon and Michael LeNoury, light up the board for Revelstoke. Sicamous responded minutes later.

With the man advantage at 12:15, Wyatt Gottschalk added a power-play conversion off of Aragon and Jackson Fulton.

A marker by Eagle Ian Jarvis at 6:43 put the game at 2-2, but the tie was broken at 2:51 by Grizzlies forward Louie Federico, aided by Brady Mende and Nicholas Higgs.

Sicamous’ effort in the second frame diminished little, but a marker at 15:32 by Kaden Black off Kyle Donaldson and Ryan Pereverzoff gave the Grizzlies a two goal lead and there was no looking back.

Steven Fiust potted a power-play conversion near the halfway mark off Kyle Baron and Pereverzoff. Next was a marker by Berry off Griffin Fried and Gottschalk, followed by a single by Ethan Waitzner, assisted by Mende and Higgs.

Berry was later named the game’s first star.

Aragon added an early marker for Revelstoke in the third, assisted by Gottschalk and Berry. All further attempts on net were denied at both ends.

Revelstoke coach Ryan Parent credited the Eagles, suggesting the final goal isn’t a fair reflection of the Sicamous’ effort.

“I don't know if it was an 8-2 hockey game, but we played within our structure and played well and got the 2 points,” said Parent.

As for the Oct. 31 game at the Art Holding Memorial Arena, Parent says every time Revelstoke plays Chase, he knows it’s going to be a good game.

The teams were well matched from the get-go, with the only goal of the first frame being an unassisted marker from a persistent Pereverzoff.

In the second frame, the Heat saw quite a few more opportunities on net, but only one managed to slip past Revelstoke netminder Aidan Doak, who would later be named the game’s second star.

“Aidan Doak has just been excellent this year,”

Wyatt Gottschalk (kneeling) slaps a shot past the Eagles goalkeeper to register the second of eight goals that the Grizzles scored during the Friday evening game. ~ Photo Rob Stokes, Revelstoke Review Grizzlies, from page 15 says Parent, noting Doak and back-up goalie Michael Lenko – recently returned from Cowichan, have been a huge part of the team’s growing success.

After a Chase marker early in the third, the pressure on the Grizzlies to stay in the game. A power play in the last minute of the frame provided Revelstoke the opportu-

nity they needed and, with 58 seconds left, Gottschalk was able to tie the game up with a marker assisted by Fiust and Mende.

The Heat didn’t disappoint their fans however, with Michael Fidanza scoring in overtime and earning Chase the win.

On Sunday, Nov. 1, the Grizzlies were back at the Forum to face off against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Parent said the Grizzlies played a stingy game, not giv-

ing up much throughout the night.

“Creston was pretty frustrated through most of the game and had a tough time,” said Parent, noting a lot of this had to do with goaltending. “They had good goaltending; we had better goaltending. Mike Lenko, he was excellent. He got the shutout last night.”

Revelstoke’s single was delivered at 14:15 in the second by Pereverzoff, assisted by Fi-

ust and Federico.

Looking at the weekend as a whole, Parent saw the Grizzlies playing together, noting, “when you play together as a unit, you can be dangerous.”

The Grizzlies are back on the ice on Friday, Nov. 6, when they host the 100 Mile House Wranglers. Game time is 7 p.m.

Obituaries Phyllis Greta Short (Corfe)

February 28, 1930 – October 22, 2015

Phyllis passed away peacefully in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 85.

She is predeceased by Roy, her loving husband of 64 years.

Phyllis was born in Oshawa, Ontario. She moved west with her family, settling in Langley, B.C. where she graduated high school. She was an astute business woman, holding various office positions. After marriage to Roy, she joined him in several business and farming operations. They relocated to the Shuswap Lake region where they raised their family. Phyllis was a remarkable seamstress and was able to outfit her six children in the latest fashions. She was very competent at everything she undertook, never daunted by any challenge. Some would say she was stubborn! She and her husband owned and operated Macleods hardware stores in Chase and Golden, B.C. as well as the Golden Mohawk service station. Her career then veered to the Golden School District where she was a school secretary and then later administrative assistant to the Superintendent of Schools until her retirement.

Phyllis was an avid gardener. She enjoyed her beautiful yards everywhere she lived. Family was important and she loved nothing more than having all her children home for the holidays or special occasions. She always encouraged her children and grandchildren to strive for success in life and was very proud of their achievements.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Phyl’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Kendra’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Traditional Gypsy music inspires Christine Tassan and Les Imposteures. ~ Photo contributed.

Christine Tassan and Les Imposteures bring new traditions to Gypsy swing CLAIRE PARADIS

Special to the Revelstoke Review Traditional Gypsy music has been crossing over borders, into ears and hearts, and inspiring musicians for a very long time. For Christine Tassan, her love affair with it began 15 years ago when she heard legendary Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt for the first time. The sound lit a fire in her. In fact it so fired her up when she first heard the music, she didn’t sleep for three days.

“I just wanted to play,” Tassan told the Revelstoke Review from a tour stop in Victoria, B.C. Already a folk, classical and jazz guitarist and songwriter at the time of her sudden conversion, she hungrily

A division of

searched out the music of other great players like Angelo Debarre and set out on the Gypsy jazz path.

On the way, she quickly discovered this new musical territory was not only Gypsy terrain, it was a man’s world.

“There were very few women playing that kind of music then 15 years ago, and even now,” said the accomplished guitarist. And so came the handle “Les Imposteures”.

And on this tour, ‘Les Imposteures’ takes on extra meaning: guitarist Lise-Anne Ross is being temporarily replaced by Mr. Ivan Garzon.

“So there’s an imposter among the Imposteures,” see Tassan, page 20

MUSIC and we are not Gypsies,” said Tassan, who was told by one Gypsy man that it was considered unattractive for women to play guitar.

“In the Gypsy community women are not allowed to play guitar in public,” Tassan observed.

Be that as it may, Christine Tassan and the Imposteures were the first Montrealers to be invited to play at the Django Reinhardt festival in Samois-Sur-Seine, France – and the first female ensemble to play there in 37 years.

“We were just wondering how receptive they were going to

be,” she confessed. Although playing their own compositions and moving around on stage also differed from the more trajoked Tassan, who had looked for another female Gypsy jazz ditional approach, they were very well received. guitarist throughout the country before she invited Garzon.

“People really enjoyed it… We have a lot of energy, and hu“Playing acoustic, it’s very physical,” Tassan mused, “you mour too,” explained Tassan, “a lot of different musical inneed some strength. Maybe that’s why. I don’t really underfluences, a lot of variety. Gypsy jazz is dancing music, it has stand. I love the music.” For now, Christine Tassan and Les swing. We also play songs, instrumentals, even some AmeriImposteures are content to be role models for other women can and Quebecois standards, and tango.” who want to join the world of Gypsy jazz.

The guitarist, singer and composer has succeeded in creating “It’s funny, we feel like we’re imposters in a man’s world, a new breed of Gypsy jazz that is influenced by classical guitar as well as traditional Quebecois music.

“I like the variety of the music,” said Tassan, “it gives us the freedom to play what we want.”

For the most part, the group’s cultural crossbreeding has taken place outside of Gypsy communities because of gender and cultural barriers.

“Because of the fact that we are women, it’s harder to be in contact.

I know a Manouche woman in Alsace who is a musician, but it’s not easy for Gypsy and non-Gypsy to connect. Even more so for women,” Tassan disclosed. “We also live in Montreal. There’s not a lot of opportunities.”

So the group’s strategy has been to “take a song that [they] like and import it into [their] universe.”

Even so, over the past 15 years, she and her fellow female Imposteures have witnessed a renewal of Gypsy jazz blaze into being, sparking new forms and styles.

“It may be changing, there are many people playing now so you have to be creative to keep doing it,” said Tassan, who has been composing her own songs in the Gypsy jazz style for a decade and a half now.
